Hello Kati
Do you mean me, that is, my last post when you write āmic pleaseā?
My recording should be fine though.
I could play it, it worked.
But today, the homepage seems to run verrrrry slooooooowly again!
And it sometimes happens that you canāt play a recording by pushing the red triangular play button in the java tool. Donāt ask me why.
But in such cases, you could still try and download the mp3 file first and then listen to that one.
Please get back to me if this solved the problem or if there is something else wrong.

Ok, I see Kati, you have got a mic problem.
You might try the following:
- close the thread, open it again.
- close the Forum Website and enter it again.
- shut your computer down and restart it again.
Yesterday, I had at first problems with the new java tool, and later I saw that they have some troubles on their own homepage, that was when I tried to verify, if my installed java tool runs smothly.
If all that doesnāt help, you could try and reinstall java once moreā¦
Hope to be of help:):(:).

Hello Urs,
You canāt imagine that I said this āDo you joke with me?ā seriously. I say this sentence very frequently when I didnāt understand something. Now when I read your letter it was very suspicious that you gave me a piece of advice how to record when the TV is very loud. For second times I understood your joke. I smiled at it, because it was very nice joke and it recalled lot of memory from my life which were buried somewhere very deeply.
If I donāt understand a joke for the first time, for the second times (most part) I understand. I like if somebody can find out jokes because it helps us to be happy.
Bye:
Kati
Hi Urs, how are you? You made me laughing when you wrote 'castle hits its roof". What do you mean by that? According to Dictionary.com, we have this:
hit the roof. Informal. to lose oneās temper; become extremely angry.
I shouldnāt jump to a conclusion,but now the word is yours.
Good morning from Brazil.Take care.
Thanks for your interest in my English speaking process, but you let me between a rock and a hard place whoy you reminded me of pitches. ha! Thatās a very good practice, but right now Iām focusing on my āarticulation proceduresā. One day my friends will be proud of my English speaking abilities. bye for now.
That hits the roof!
JosƩ, now you made me laugh too!
Okay then, Iāve never seen a castle hitting its roof - how would that go? We better donāt want to know, do we? The only chance I see is an owner who wants to cash in the insurance capital for his rotten castle by placing a tiny little dynamite bar at the right place by the chimney right under the roof, and then, miracolously, the castle burns downā¦
Thanks!
Iāll have to search for another expression, Iāll keep you posted!
Urs
Hi Urs,
I think you might mean āthe story takes the biscuitā (or āā¦ takes the cakeā in the US)
if you say this, you mean that it was very bad, and even worse than things they have said or done before
or
very unusual and even more surprising than the things they have said and done before.
Hello Beeesneees
Thanks for replying, but no, I was looking for a cool expression that means like āthe very best part of the storyā, āreally really impressing and amazingā, or something like āa hit in the music chartsāā¦
So the castle in the serie Downtown Abbey is - I donāt know - āflabbergastingā or maybe ādevastatingly fantasticā orā¦ like: āhe?ā -> āPUFFF!ā when you turn and look at it suddenlyā¦
Sorry for falling back on comic strip language, but could you be of further help?
Cheers Urs
How about, āthe castle takes my breath away?ā

The castle the castleā¦a thousand times the castle! takes my breath away every time! (Steph and molaās 2nd WDW trip)
=The castle is very surprising and beautiful takes my breath away.= the beauty of the castle is breath-taking.
=Something can be so beautiful that you forget to take your breath. Breathtakingly
beautiful castle.
Dear JosƩ,
My aim also to correct and correct my pronunciation and understand other peopleās speech. On youtube there are many possibilities to correct. I found Rachel is the best, she could teach the good pronunciation, and she deals about the phonation of vowels, diphthongs /pitches/stressed and unstressed syllables etc. She has a vocation to tell us everything about the good pronunciation. I decided to listen to her every day, but āMan proposes, God disposesā and I am unable to listen regularly to her because of the lack of time.
Try it once! It might as well come off. Look for this title on the Google.
Welcome to Rachelās English - American Pronunciation-this is the first.
Here is her second lesson and you can test her method.

Good study!

Many thanks.

Kati, you can delete your own posts, I think, as long as noone has listened to them yet.
But I canāt see a post that has been sent twice, so maybe you succeeded in deleting it alreadyā¦
